I earlier reported on this 24.9-gigapixel Chinese quantum satellite camera being used to shoot a 360-degree panorama photo of Shanghai (https://chinarising.puntopress.com/2018/12/14/60-seconds-over-sinoland-quantum-satellite-camera-used-to-do-moveable-panoramic-photo-of-shanghai/). It went viral on China’s social media and now due to its popularity, they have gone to a number of other cities and sites around China, as well as internationally in Phuket, Thailand. The concept has been improved, with sign markers identifying and describing landmarks (in Mandarin) and other cities over the horizon, like a compass, to get a sense of direction. These latter have both English and Chinese. Move around with your mouse button and zoom in and out with its track wheel.
I’m proud to say they came to Shenzhen to shoot off the Ping’an Finance Center, the city’s tallest skyscraper at 599 meters and 117 floors. More on this amazing city here (https://chinarising.puntopress.com/2019/03/07/60-seconds-over-sinoland-shenzhens-economy-beats-hong-kongs-dont-even-ask-me-about-quality-of-life/ and https://chinarising.puntopress.com/2019/02/25/the-amazing-1-5-kilometer-long-wall-of-outdoor-art-and-graffiti-in-shenzhen-china-rising-radio-sinoland-190225/) .

It’s strange how Western media doesn’t give the PRC credit for its reforestation programmes, isn’t it (although I think we know the answer)?
With the increasing milestones reached by Chinese technological R&D, Euroangloland agencies such as the GCHQ in Britain will have tough competition.
Thanks, Martin.
I wrote a lot about China’s forestation and combat against desertification in the first book of “The China Trilogy”, “44 Days”, since I got to see it first hand. Really impressive.
Sino-best, Jeff
